PREFACE
It was in 1929, during the course of compilation of a catalogue of a private
collection of materials of interest to students of Mughal period of Indian History,
belonging to the late Mr. Vicaji D. B. Taraporewala, that the idea of compiling an
annotated bibliography, covering source-materials for the study of that period,
suggested itself to me. Next year, when, in consequence of the award of Sir P. M.
Mehta Research Scholarship, I undertook a research assignment on a subject
pertaining to this period, a compilation such as this, as a preliminary to that assign-
ment, became necessary. In that year, when I embarked upon this work, little did
I dream of the vicissitudes of fortune that it will have to pass through and the number
of years that will be required to complete it. I am grateful to Him that at long last,
it has been possible for me to see at least a part of the work, in the shape of this
volume, duly completed.
While I am so glad that this part of the work is now ready for the use of
scholars, it is with some hesitation that I lay it before the public. Because, despite
the utmost endeavour, I am conscious that imperfections have remained. I feel,
however, that the work, despite its weaknesses, will prove so useful that I will not
be justified in holding it back until it was perfected. I am reminded of these
famous lines of poet Alexander Pope in support of hjy decision :
" Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see,
Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be."
I will be grateful if scholars will point out the relevant deficiencies, so that the
opportunity to eliminate them can be availed of in the second edition, if and when it
is called for.
In this work, an attempt has been made to list, as exhaustively as possible, the
sources for the study of India during the period that the country was governed by the
Mughals. The sources included in this work are in various languages and pertain
to various aspects of life — political, economic, social, cultural and others. No
language is excluded, no aspect of life is overlooked. The idea is to make the survey
as comprehensive and exhaustive as possible, and any source, which, even indirectly
is concerned with, or, throws any light on the life and labour of the period covered
is included.
When the compilation was taken up, it seemed a project of reasonable compass.
But as the work progressed, it grew and it grew. Ultimately, it was decided,
therefore, that this first volume be confined only to works as were in manuscripts,
Vlll
and that a separate volume to follow should cover published materials. The present
volume, therefore, is restricted primarily to such sources as are contemporary or
original and in manuscripts, and does not include, except incidentally, secondary
sources or printed compilations of later period which are derived from or based on
original or contemporary sources. Such secondary sources comprising printed
books and periodical contributions are set apart for another and a separate volume.
In determining the scope ofthe present volume, each item, before it was included,
was checked as to its relevance to the study of the subject — Mughals in India. In
the process of such selection, liberal interpretation has been preferred. For instance,
in the case of any particular author, besides those works having a direct bearing on
the study ofthe period, his other works, not so directly concerned, have been included
also. Similarly, literary works and works in other fields as may illuminate the
study of various types and aspects of human endeavour during the period have
been noticed also. In respect of works in Sanskrit and allied languages, the selection
is not exhaustive. Apart from works produced under the patronage of contem-
porary rulers, a broad choice has been favoured to reflect the cultural renaissance
in Sanskrit that took place during the period, and to give an idea of the nature and
extent of the court patronage that was extended to learning and literature, at
the time.
The inclusion of works in different languages in this volume gave rise to the
problem of transliteration, and it proved baffling. Adoption of generally accepted
standard systems of transliteration in respect of each language seemed a way out.
But, in actual practice, it was noticed that, sometime, in one and the same item, one
and the same word appeared in confusingly different garbs. Moreover, the diffi-
culties of the press in assuring adequate provision of a wide variety of diacritical
marks and special types could not be overlooked also. The pedantic approach was
given up, therefore, and a popular approach was adopted by means of an ad hoc
phonetic transliteration. The defects of this compromise may call for critical com-
ments, very naturally, and indulgence is craved for, therefore, in this regard.
The arrangement of the items is according to authors, and in the case of anony-
mous works, which are dealt with in a separate section, according to titles. An
exhaustive title index has been provided, followed by an index of subjects. A separate
index of names of authors, with possible alternative keywords, presented a difficult
task, and, as the work already had taken over twelve years in the press, it was thought
discrete to omit it. In the body of the text itself, however, this deficiency to some
extent is neutralised, inasmuch as, such alternative names, as were necessary in some
cases, have been provided for, even at the risk of the same item being repeated
elsewhere in the work. This volume has been in the press for over twelve years, and
necessarily, provision had to be made, therefore, for addenda and corrigenda to bring
the contents of the bibliography and the refeiences contained therein, uptodate.
ix
In each item, besides the author's full name and the title of the work, with such
known alternatives as are there, some of the following details, or all of them, are
given: (/) a brief idea as to the contents of the work; (ii) the relevance of the work
for the study of the period; (Hi) available published versions of the text, and extracts
or translations therefrom, if any; (iv) relevant sources where discussion or elucida-
tion of such works has been attempted; and, lastly, (v) the libraries or the private
collections of the world wherein the Mss. thereof are available, indicated mostly
by means of references to standard catalogues of Mss. of such libraries or collec-
tions. These references are given in an abbreviated form, and a key to the abbrevia-
tions used in this behalf has been provided for, just before the commencement of the
text-part. The object in giving all these details is to provide complete information
as is possible in respect of each item, particularly, as to its relevance, wherefrom it is
available, and the incidental references thereto as may enable its evaluation as a
source of study.
The attempt, in short, is a very comprehensive one, so that the work may prove
useful from different points of view. Suggestions, however, to add to its utility, as
already stated above, will be received very gratefully. The compilation claims no
originality; Its prime aim is to provide a comprehensive and a ready bibliographic
aid to students of this period. Any help received towards the achiverhent of this
object will be appreciated.
During the compilation of this work, while I visited and worked in some of the
libraries in India and abroad, and took the opportunity to make personal references,
my main reliance has been on the catalogues, printed or otherwise, of the Mss. in
the different libraries of the world. Personal collections have also been availed of.
And I take this opportunity to record my sense of gratitude to the various librarians,
to the scholarly compilers of the different catalogues, and the individuals who so
graciously permitted access to their personal collections. As it is difficult for me to
give here, in extenso, the long list of these names, I content myself by mentioning
certain selected names in each of these categories for the specially valuable help
I received from them.
In the first category, I wish to thank Mr. J. D. Pearson, the Librarian of the
School of Oriental and African Studies, London, for the facilities he was good enough
to provide to me while I worked in his library, in 1953. In the second category, I must
express my thankfulness to Mr. C. A. Storey, and Mr. W. Ivanow. The Persian
Literature — a Bio-Bibliographical Survey of the first, and the valuable Catalogues
of the second, not only gave me much of the data for this work, but provided sugges-
tions as well for the lay-out and the format of this compilation. In the third category,
I wish to pay my tribute to the memory of late Mr. Vicaji D. B. Taraporewala. It
was his invitation to me to prepare a catalogue of his private collection that marked
the beginning of this work, and, therefore, his absence from the scene at the end of
it is so poignant to me.
To Professor N. A. Nadvi, the veteran scholar, to Dr. M. 1. Momin, the Lecturer
in the Department of Persian, University of Bombay, and to Professor A. G. Shaikh,
Head of the Department of Persian, K. C. College, Bombay, I am indebted for the
suggestions they made from time to time as and when they had occasion to refer to
this compilation while it was in the making. My grateful thanks are due also to
Mr. B. Anderson, the Reader in the Department of Library Science, and the Deputy
Librarian in this University, for bringing to my notice very many references which
otherwise would have escaped my attention, and to Mrs. M. A. Sardesai, a colleague
on the staff of this library, for the valuable assistance she gave me in the compilation
of the index, sacrificing her leisure hours.
Last but not the least, I can hardly thank the University of Bombay, in adequate
terms, for the valuable library it placed at my command. This facilitated the compila-
tion of the work so much, and as a token of my gratitude, therefore, I deem it proper
to dedicate this volume to my alma mater.

Book I : 'Abd al-Rahim' s father and his own youth ; also history of the kings
of Hindustan from the Ghaznawides to Jahangir, and of Bengal, Jaunpur,
Malwa, Kashmir and Multan.
Book II : Virtues and victories of 'Abd al-Rahim, copies of firmans and accounts
of the rulers of Gujarat, Deccan, Sind and Khandesh.

vi 237-243. A great portion of the work, devoted to details about
Khankhanan, is written "in so fulsome a strain of eulogy, that it is difficult
to know what faith to put in it." Albeit, valuable in so much as it does not
literally copy Firishta as was usually done and follows its own note.

most important part of the work containing as it does the earliest history of
Gujarat under Muslim rule that has been preserved to us and a great many
digressions into the contemporary history of India and Arabia. Daftar II,
though a compilation mostly from sources familiar to us, has nevertheless an
independent value as offering the views of a careful and an impartial historian.

(i) Maykhdnah : A work full of information regarding the development of

17th centuries of the Christian era. He came to India in 1017/1608 and was at
the Court at Agra in 1018/1609 as a story-teller thanks to his relation, Mirza
Nizami, who later became Bafohshi and Dlwdn of Kashmir. In this work nearly
200 lines are of his own composition and there is a statement that by 1028/1619
he had composed verses to the extent of 1500. This is an anthology of the works
of both the earlier and the later poets who sang of wine. Completed in 1028/
1619, of the 71 biographies in this work, ten are poets who had died before the
accession of Akbar to the throne in 963/1556 and who had no connection with
No. 53 ] 17
India. The remaining 61 are contemporaries of either Akbar or Jahangir
and who were intimately connected with the Mughal Court. There are certain
poets whose lives are not to be obtained from any work except this. For all
these and further details see /C, ii, 1928, pp. 638-644.

prefixed to the first volume of the Bibl. Ind. ed. of (i) below. See also Storey

of India from the time of the Ghaznavides down to the 40th year of Akbar's
reign, completed in 1004/1596, in two parts. Part I comprises history of
India from Sabuktagin to Humayun's death ; and part II contains an account
of the first 40 years of Akbar's reign, and a tazkirah devoted to the biographies
of the poets and men of learning who adorned Akbar's court. It contains
notices of 38 Shaykhs (religious leaders), 69 scholars, 15 philosophers andphys-
cians, and no fewer than 167 poets. See Br. Lit, Hist. Pers. iv 249-250 and Spr.
pp. 55-65. Cf. JASB, xxxviii (1869), pt. i, pp. 105-144. For the reign of Akbar
" it is especially useful, as correcting, by its prevalent tone of censure and dis-
paragement, the fulsome eulogium of the Akbar-ndmah. Despite this system-
atic depreciation, it has been observed that Abdul-Kadir's narrative conveys
a more favourable impression of the character of Akbar than the rhetorical
flourishes of the Court journalist. The author professes to derive his
information chiefly from the Tarikh-e -Mubarak Shdhi and the Tabakat-e-
Akbari, yet contrary to the usual Indian practice, there is much more
original matter in it than such a declaration would lead us to suppose, and
* [ No. 53
the whole narrative, even when avowedly taken from his predecessors,
is tinged with his peculiar prejudices " (Elliot v 477-479). An abridge-
ment made in 1049/1639-40 by Tahmasp Quli is in Berlin. See Pr 470.

Khan, Muhammad Sultan Thanesari and Mulla Shiri. " The exact share each
of these scholars had in the work of the translation is difficult to define, as so
many conflicting statements are given, both in the various copies, and by
Bada'uni himself." See a detailed discussion on these points in EB 1306, and
R i 57. 'Abd al-Qadir, in his Muntahhab says that he and his three other
collaborators wrote a literal version, which was then turned into elegant prose
by Faizi. Abu'l Fazl wrote a preface to it (R i 57). According to Elliot
(v 478) Bada'uni translated two out of the eighteen sections (parvas) of the
Mahdbhdrata. What Bada'uni himself says about his translation is given in
Elliot v 537. Rieu (p. 57) says that " in the conclusion of a (MS.)
copy Nakib Khan says that he had translated the whole work from
Sanskrit by order of Akbar in the space of one year and a half, and that he
completed it in a.h. 992 ". Akbar called it Razm-N amah. Cf. J A, vii, p. 110.

Indian national epopee, undertaken by Akbar's orders. Bada'uni says

entitled Ndmah-e-Jchirad-afzd, from the original Sanskrit of the famous collec-
tion of 32 family tales. What Bada'uni himself says about this translation
is given in Elliot v 513. It is perhaps the oldest Persian version, made by
the order of Akbar in 982/1574-75, and revised in 1003/1594-95. This

and most faithful pieces of autobiography extant, they are infinitely superior
to the hypocritical revelations of Timur and the pompous declamation of
Jehangir, not inferior in any respect to the Expedition of Xenophon, and
rank but little below the commentaries of Caesar."

in 1091/1631, was the 24th Da'i of the Ismaili Da'wat, and called to Lahore

ABU'L-FAZL 'ALLAMl 99
Abii'1-Fazl, s/o Shaykh Mubarak, was born about 958/1551, and educated
under his father's care. " His range of reading was extensive, and before the
age of twenty he had obtained the reputation of a deep and critical scholar.
His attainments afterwards gained for him the high sounding title of 'Alldmi.
He was introduced to the Court in his seventeenth year, and he gradually rose
to be the Prime Minister and a mansibddr of 4,000. He gained unbounded
confidence of the Emperor and discharged his duties, both as a civilian and a
soldier, with distinguished ability and success." (Elliot vi 2). Prince Salim,
afterwards the Emperor Jahangir, who had a great dislike for him, brought
about his assassination in 1011/1602. For an account of his life seelnshd-e-

He wrote several works, of which the following are well-known : —
(i) Akbar-ndmah : Contains a detailed history of the first 46 years of the Em-
peror's reign, to which is prefixed an abridged history of his ancestors. It was
originally completed in 1004/1596 but subsequently continued down to 1010/
1602. Some MSS. however contain a further continuation by Muhammad
Salih, down to the 50th year of Akbar's reign, 1013/1604. It is in three
volumes, — the first contains a history of the House of Timur down to the death
of Humayun ; the second is a record of the reign of Akbar from 1556 to 1604 ;
and the third is the A'in-e-Akbari, the great Administrative Report of Akbar's
Empire, vide (ii) below.

Publ : Litho. ed. with a preface and marginal notes by Sayyed Muhammad
Sadiq 'All, in three quarto vols., Cawnpore 1881-83. Another at Lucknow
1867, printed at the expense of the Maharaja of Patiala. With regard to this
edition one finds the following remarks in Elliot vi 9 : " Gross and obvious
errors abound in it, and there are many passages wanting. In one instance, the
annals of six months of one of the most important years of the reign (the 17th)
are altogether omitted." Beveridge observes " No doubt it has many faults
but it was the first in the field, and it is on the whole, a creditable monument
of the enterprise of the publisher as well as of the liberality of the Maharaja
of Patiala."

observes that the Bibl. Ind. edition of the Persian text " is by no means so good
as it might have been, for the learned native editors were destitute of geographi-
cal or historical knowledge. Hence they have often made mistakes in the names
of persons and places." For another MS, of Akbar-ndmah, see JRAS, 1903,

For the continuation entitled Takmilah-e- Akbar-ndmah : see c Inayat al-lah,
(ii) A'in-e-Akbari : This is the third book or supplement of the Akbar-ndmah.
containing the detailed historical and geographical description of the Indian
Empire and the Institutes of Akbar. The subject matter of this monumental
work is such as would be found in modern times in Administrative Reports,
Statistical Abstracts and Gazetteers. The first of its five books treats of
Akbar's household and court. Here we are introduced to the royal stables,
to the wardrobe, and kitchens, and to the hunting establishment. We are
initiated into all the arrangements connected with the treasury and the mint,
the armoury, and the travelling equipage. We learn the rules of the court
etiquette, and also the ceremonies instituted by Akbar as the spiritual guide
of his people. The second deals with the servants of the throne, the military
and civil services, the attendants at court, the musicians, and literary figures.
Besides giving details of army administration, it gives regulations respecting
the feasts, marriages, rites, education, and amusements. It ends with a list of
the Grandees of the Empire. Their rank is shown by their military commands,
as mansibddrs or captains of cavalry. All commands above five thousand
belonged to the Shdhzddahs or Emperor's sons. The total number of mansibs
or military commands was sixty-six. Most of the higher officers were Persians
or Afghans, not Hindustani -Muhammadans, and out of the four hundred and
fifteen mansibddrs there were fifty -one Hindus, a large percentage in those
days. The third book is devoted to the regulations for the judicial and exe-
cutive departments, the establishment of a new and more practical era, survey
of the land, the tribal divisions and the rent roll of Todar Mall ; the fourth to
social condition and literary activity, especially in philosophy and law, of the
Hindus ; the fifth contains the moral sentences and epigrammatical sayings,
observations, etc., of the Emperor. It is to the third book, containing the
details of the revenue system, that the modern administrator will turn with the
deepest interest. Early in his reign, Akbar remitted or reduced a number of
vexatious taxes. His able revenue officers then proceeded to introduce a
reformed settlement based on the indigenous system, as matured by Sher
Shah. The greatest among Akbar's fiscal statesmen was Todar Mall, who
was responsible for the revenue settlements of Gujarat, Bengal, and Bihar,
and introduced the system of keeping revenue accounts in Persian; Next

Malfuzat-e-Timuri : Persian translation of Timur's, alleged autobiographical,

added a preface of the translator and the " Tuzukdt or Institutes, Designs and

The rf vised and enlarged edition of the above Malfuzdt or autobiographical
Memoirs of Timur, made at the request of Emperor Shab -Jab an-,- in 1047/
1637, by Muhammad Afzal of Bukhara.
MSS: IvASB 86; EIO 203; EB 151-152 ; Ri 179a, iii 975a. See Elliot iii
392-477 and Storey p. 283.
The authenticity of the Malfuzdt (Memoirs) or the Tuzukdt (Institutes) both is
very doubtful. Abu Talib, the translator, found the original copy in the
Chaghtai Turki language, consisting of the history of Timur from the seventh
to the 74th year of his age, in the library of Ja'far Hakim of Yaman and trans-
lated it into Persian. But when it was read to the Emperor Shah Jahan it
was found to contain errors and mistakes and so Muhammad Afzal was ordered
to revise it assimilating it with Zafar-ndmah. This later version is sometimes
known as Malfuzdt-e-Sdhib Qirdn, but the two, so far as portions
regarding India are concerned, are identical. See Elliot hi 394-477 for
the translation of extracts relating to Indian invasion. The Malfuzdt or
Memoirs as far as the 41st ye?r of Timur's age has been translated into English
from the Persian of Abu Talib Husayni by Major Charles Stewart, with a map.
(Oriental Transl. Fund), pp. xvi, 154 11. Lond. 1830.
The above translation is a fragment reaching only up to the forty-first year of
Timur's age, being based on £ n incomplete manuscript belonging to the Royal
Asiatic Socitty, London.

(i) TdriJch-e-alfi : A very rare and valuable general history of the Moslem
world during the first millennium after the death of the prophet Muhammad
up to 997/1589. It was commenced by the order of Akbar in 993/1585 by
Mulla A^mad Tattawl (of Thatta, in Sind) and completed by other scholars
like Bada' uni and Asaf Khan. After the assasination of the Mulla in 996/1588,
it was continued by Ja'far Beg Asaf Khan. The first two volumes were
revised by 'Abd al-Qadir of Badayun in 1000/1591-92, and the third by Asaf
Khan. The arrangement of the work is strictly chronological, the events being
recorded year by year, according to an era, which was adopted for the purpose
by Akbar's direction, that of the Rihlat or death of Muhammad. The first
year of the Rihlat, with which the chronicle begins, corresponds therefore to
A.H. 11, in which Muhammad died, and ten has to be added to each subsequent
date fco reduce it to the Hijrah reckoning (R p. 118). A detailed account of its
composition is found in Bada'uni's Muntakhab al-tawdrikh, and Elliot v.
That part of it which deals with Akbar's reign is the most valuable of all.

who, according to Bada'uni, flourished at the same time, besides using several
tazkirahs, referred to many historical and geographical works as well and in
many instances states exact dates and gives geographical details of the places

flourished under Akbar has added an abstract from the appendix to Bada'uni's

extracts. The work, it is said there (p. 257), " is very valuable for the clear
and succinct account, it gives of the Mahrattas." It was composed during
the administration of Lord Cornwallis. He declares that his main object
is to expose the audacious attempt of Visvas Rad on the throne of the Timur-
ides, and to record its signal punishment. ' All Ibrahim was a native of Patna,
and author of several voluminous tazkirahs, held the office of Chief Magistrate
at Banaras where he died in 1208/1794. Translated by Major Fuller whose
version will be found printed, with the exception of a few passages, in Sir H.

568). Principal contents are : Birth and early life of Shah 'Alam ; death of
Aurangzeb ; reception of the mournful news by Shah 'Alam in Peshawar ;
his march against Muhammad A zam ; defeat of the latter; record of the
reign, carried on month by month and even day by day.

The author, who used the tahhallus " 'Ali ", belonged to a Shiraz family of
Physicians. He entered the government service in the reign of Shah Jahan.
Later, when he was in the service of 'Alamglr, he received the titles of Ni'mat
Khan and Muqarrab Khan, and was put in charge of the State Jewels. During
the fratricidal war which broke out on the death of 'Alamglr, he deposited
them in the fort of Gwalior and delivered them to Shah ' Alam on his accession
to the throne. He was rewarded with the title of Ddnishmand Khan by the
King and ordered to write the above history. He had hardly written an
account of the first two years when he died in 1121/1709 or 1122-1710 (BUL
p. 49).
(ii) Jang-ndmah or Razm-ndmah : He has also described the close of Aurang-
zeb's reign, and the conflict of his two sons, A'zam Shah and Bahadur Shah,
in a shorter work entitled Jang-ndmah, which has been lithographed in
Lucknow, A.H. 1261 and in Kanpur, A.H. 1279, and is noticed (very briefly)
by Elliot, vol. vii. p. 202. An anonymous Jang-ndmah is noticed in IvASB
(Supp. I) No. 761. It gives a brief account of the struggle which took place
immediately after the death of Aurangzeb (1118/1707) between his sons,
especially Muhammad A'zam Shah, and Bahadur Shah, ending with the victory
of the latter. The author does not mention his own name or the date of
composition. " The work closely resembles that of Kamraj, which is styled
Azamul-Harb (see R 937), but is not identical with it. It may have some
connection with Nimat Khan Ali's work, *he Bahadur -Shah Nam a" described
in (i) above, says Ivanow in 761.

Mir r 4t-e-Ahmadi : A very extensive and most valuable history of Gujarat,
down to the defeat of the Marathas at Panipat, 1761. The author was the
last of the Imperial "Diwans" of the province. Sir Jadunath Sarkar says :
"the author has incorporated in his work the full texts of a very large number
of official Jftters and orders of the Imperial Government, e.g. farmdns, par-
wanas, and dastur-al-'amals. Thus the best raw materials of social and ad-
ministrative history have been preserved by him for us... The narrative history
is supplemented by a second volume giving a very detailed topographical
description of the province, the lives of its saints, an account of the official
classes, their salaries and duties, and the administrative system in general.
In short, the Mir'dl-e-Ahmadi is the only work of the class after Abu'l Fazl's
justly famous A'in-e-Akbari, as a source of accurate information of diverse
kinds relating to the Mughal empire." (vide pp. vi-vii, Gaekwad's Oriental
Series, vol. xxxiv, Baroda, 1927). See also Sardesai Commemoration vol.
pp. 257-260.
The Mir' at is divided into two parts and a khatitnah (i.e. conclusion, supplement or
appendix). Part I contains an account of Gujarat in pre-Islamic times, under
its local Muslim kings and under the Mughals of Delhi, up to 1126/1714. Part
II covers the period from 1127/1715 to 1174/1760-61. The khdiimah contains
a vast amount of curious statistical, geographical, topographical and bio-
graphical information about Gujarat.

This edition is incomplete, containing the history only up to 1714 (or about one-
half of it) together with the khdtimah or Appendix. It is in many places
hopelessly corrupt, abounding in mistakes and misprints. The whole of the
work has been edited in three parts by Prof. Sayyid Nawab 'AH, M.A., printed
from moveable type and published in the Gaekwad's Oriental Series, Baroda,

1927-30 : Part I, pp. viii, 416 ; Part II, pp. vii, 20 613, 10 ; Part III, pp. vii,
254. Part I comes up to 1126/1714, containing the lithographed historical
portion. Part II, with a preface, explanatory notes, index and a foreword in
English by Sir Jadnnath Sarkar, covers the portion omitted from the litho-
graphed edition from 1127/1715 to 1174/1760-61. Part III is the khdtimah
which is a sort of Gazetteer of the province of Gujarat during the Mughal
period.

The Assamese chronicles are known as Buranjis and deal with the events of the
Ahom rule (1228-1826 A.D.) systematically. A few of fragmentary nature are
available dealing with the Hindu or the pre- Ahom period. In Assam, it
appears historical sense was well- developed and there came to be established
a tradition of keeping written records of events and occurrences. For a list of
chief Buranjis see Gait : History of Assam, (1st ed.) pp. xi-xii ; Barua : Assam-
ese Literature (1941) pp. 36-38 ; Bhuyan : Annals of the Delhi Badshahate
pp. 27-31 and Lachit Barphukan and his times (Gauhati 1947) pp. 217-221. Cf
also IC ii pp. 323-327 and 540-563 for an analysis of the contribution of these
Buranjis from the point of view of Mughal history and the light they throw on
Mughal India, with special reference to Padshah Buranji.

Sarkar says that it is " by 'Inayatullah Khan, the best and favourite
secretary of Aurangzeb. The volume contains not fully written out letters
but only precis of the points which the Emperor dictated to his secretary
for inclusion in the letters. But they are not so brief and obscure as the
contents of the Kalimdt-e-Tayyebdt, (see below). The persons addressed are
usually named. The contents refer to the last decade of Aurangzeb' s reign.
I have used the Rampur State Library MS., a fine copy which must have
belonged to the Delhi Palace Library, and collated it with the Khuda Bakhsh
MS. a neatly written copy of the 18th century. No other MS. of it is known
to exist." (Sarkar's Hist, of Aurang. vol. ii, p. 310. Cal. 1912). Cf. Storey

respects it appears to be different from it, and made by some one else.

Nadvi, with plates, pp. iv, 398, A'zamgarh, 1930. It is a collection of the
letters written by Aurangzeb to his father, sister, brothers and to his sons, while
yet a prince and when he was in charge of different provinces of the Empire.
The volume also contains five appendices : the first of which contains letters
written by the Emperor Shah Jahan to his sons and Mahabat Khan ; the second
contains Jahan Ara's letters to Aurangzeb and to Raja Budh Prakash of
Sirmoor ; the third, letters written by Dara to various court dignitaries ; the
fourth contains letters of Shuja' and the fifth, Murad's letter to Shah Jahan,
Jahan Ara and others. The volume is considerably enriched by photographs

'Alamgir (in Urdu) by th same Sayyid Najib Ashraf Nadvi Esq., M.A., pp. iv,

the preceding volume. It also traces the history of the art of letter-writing
(Inshd) as it existed in Islamic countries with particular reference to Mughal
India. Both the volumes taken together, and the original letters, carefully
and scholarly edited, and reviewed as to their historical value, constitute a
definite contribution to the history of Aurangzeb.

Lodi, he became substantially master of Hindustan. He showed himself

Journal and Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, vol. vi, (extra number)
pp. vi, 43, Calc. 1910, " from the manuscript belonging to the Library of His
Highness the Nawab of Rampur." " What adds a special interest to the
contents of this volume is the fact that it has preserved a poetical work by
Babur which was hitherto considered to be irretrievably lost." The manus-
cript which was locally regarded as the autograph of the Emperor throughout
is but a work of a scribe with occasional corrections and a fragment of a
98 [ Nos. 299-302
rubd% written transversely across the last page in the Emperor's own hand.
[See IC (Oct. 1947) p. 367, no. 13]. In the introduction to the Dlwdn, the
editor justifies his having reverted to the spelling Babur which, though em-
ployed by many earlier European scholars, such as Berezine, Ilminsky and
Teufel, has been mysteriously ousted by the spelling Babar. The evidence
is overwhelming in support of his contention, and the editor adds that all the
Turki-speaking men he has consulted whether from Bukhara or Kashghar,
always pronounced the final ur quite distinctly, which alone, he thinks is
sufficient evidence in support of the form Babur.

(ii) Mir' dtf al-' dlam : General history, from the oldest times to 1078/1667-1668
usually ascribed to Bakhtawar Khan, but composed in fact by Shaykh Muham-
mad Baqa according to IvC 6 and EIO 124. Rieu (p. 126) observes :
"The Mir'dt-al-'Alam is an extremely useful and trustworthy compendium of
eastern history and biography. The contemporary record of the first ten years
of Aurangz eh' s reign is of special interest ; the author remarks in its conclusion
that his position near the person of the sovereign had enabled him to make
important additions to the 'Alamgir-ndmah, on which his account was based...
The work is divided into an Introduction (Muqaddimah), seven books called
drdyish, subdivided into sections termed numdyish and numud, an appendix
{afzdyish) and a conclusion (Khdtimah) . . .Ardyish VI in five numayish : 1 . Babur
2. Humayiin, .3. Akbar, 4. Jahanglr, 5. Shah Jahan and drdyish VII in three
pirdyish : 1. History of 'Alamgir from his birth to the end of the tenth year
. of his reign, 2. His eminent qualities, his children, extent and divisions of his
empire... 3. Shaykhs of the time of c Alamgir ; Ulama from the time of Akbar
to the reign of ' Alamgir. Afzdyish : Celebrated Calligraphers, . . . Khdtimah :
Notices of Persian poets." Bakhtawar Khan, says Rieu (p. 125), " who passed
for a perfect master of historical lore, was a eunuch in the service of Aurangz eb . "
He died in Ahmadnagar on the 15th of Rabi I., A.H. 1096 (A.D. 1685).
" Aurangz eb mourned for him more than he had ever done for any of his
servants, and officiated as Imam at his funeral." See Elliot vii 145-165, where
the question of real authorship of the work is fully discussed. See also Baqa,

ascribed to Bakhtawar Khan, giving " an account of the four battles by which
Aurangzeb won the throne, and that it " probably is the original draft of the

pointed Bakhrfil of Saharanpur, where he founded the quarter known as Baqa-
pura and died in 1094/1683. It seems that at his death he left the Mirdt-e-
Jahdn-nwnd in an incomplete state. It was revised, and completed and editep
by two of his relatives, Muhammad Shafi', his nephew, whose edition is usually
mentioned (vide Bh i 13 ; R iii 890a, 1020-22, 1049a and the MSS. in the
Library of the Eton College, 164, 165) and Muhammad Riza, younger brother
of Baqa, the latter's edition called by him Mirdt-e-Jahdn numd, is not so
common. Regarding " the almost complete copy of the extremely rare
Mirdt-i-J ahdnnumd " (EIO 126), Dr. Ethe observes "it is not unlikely that
we have got here the later edition of Muhammad Baka's younger brother
Rida." The contents are given in Elliot vii pp. 146-149 and in EIO 126,
which contains eleven books (Ardyish) and a Khdtimah. Ardyish VI, from,
Babur to Shah Jahan ; Ardyish VII, Aurangzeb.)

general survey of the whole field of Hindu knowledge. Divided into 18

undertaking. See Haraprasad Shastri's preface to ASB Sk. Cat. Ill, pp. xxv-

Admittedly the greatest of the Persian poets in India during the seventeenth and
the eighteenth centuries, the author was born in Patna in 1054/1644. He first
adopted the takhallus of Ramzl but changed it later to Bidil. He died in
1133/1720. Garcin de Tassy gives the date of his death as 1137/1724. In
his youth, the author was employed by A'zam Shah, son of Aurangzeb. But
he gave up the allurements of a court appointment in favour of his literary
activities. He was a prolific writer.

Text eds : The text edited and collated from various MSS. by Major-General
John Briggs, assisted by Munshi Mir Khairat 'All Khan Mushtaq of Akbarabad :
2 vols, folio, pp. 730 and 802, Bombay and Poona, 1831. Best despite some
omissions. See Elliot vi pp. 216-218. Asiatic Miscellany, ii, pp. 278 et seq.
contains extracts from the text.
The original text lithographed and edited with a preface by Kali Parshad, 2 vols.
Lucknow, 1864-65.
Translations : (a) The first and second books, about the Delhi Emperors down to
Akbar, translated from the Persian by Col. A. Dow and published together
with a dissertation concerning the religion and philosophy of the Brahmins
and an appendix containing the history of the Mughal Empire from its decline
in the reign of Muhammad Shah to the present time (1768), 2 vols, with a map
and engravures, pp. I xxvi, 364 and 298, 96. Lond. 1768. Subsequent

This translation is done in an improper manner. See Mori. p. 67, also Elliot
vi 212. Sometimes an entirely different meaning from that which Firishtah
intended is conveyed, and some of the commonest sentences are misunder-
stood.

Muhammadans of Malabar was translated by Mr. Anderson in 1786, and both
the text and the translation were published in the Asiatic Miscellany, vol. ii,

of Aliverdie Khan to the year 1780." In six parts, 2 vols. pp. xiii, 411 and
123, 461, Shrewsbury, 1794. Subsequent editions : 2nd ed., in 2 vols. 4to,
Lond. 1800 ; 3rd ed., in 3 vols., 8vo, London (n.d.).
The translation has been well done but not with such exactness as to merit the
reputation it has acquired.
(d) Translation of the entire work from the original Persian of Muhammad
Qasim Firishtah by J. Briggs (omitting the XHth book on the Saints of Hindus-
tan) to which is added an account of the conquest by the Kings of Haiderabad,
of the Ceded Districts and Northern Circars, with copious notes, 4 vols.
8vo, London, 1829.
This outshines all other translations and is by far the best, enriched by some
valuable appendices and filling up of some of the deficiencies in the original.
Besides the omission of the XHth book, which, though containing little histori

cal information, was otherwise important, there are other omissions of a more
important character arising from Briggs having used an early edition of 1020
for translation. Firishtah up to the latest period of his life had made many
additions.
Briggs' translation reprinted by R. Cambray & Co., of Calcutta in four volumes,
pp. lxxi, 599 ; xi, 568 ; lvi, 528 ; and xxii, 659. Calc. 1908/10.
(e) Extracts translated into English, see Elliot : Bibliographical Index, pp. 322-36
and History vi pp. 218-36 and 532-569.
(f) An Urdu translation was published by the Nawalkishore Press, Lucknow,
1891 and later.
(g) Another Urdu translation by M. Fida 'All " Talib " (Osmania University
Press), 4 vols. Haiderabad, 1926-32.
Despite taint of prejudice against the Sunnis, the TdriJch-e-Firishtah, is remark-
able for impartiality. The author displays a rare excellence in Muhammadan
historians of not even flattering the prince in whose reign he lived. The work
is superior to many of the general histories of India. See Elliot vi 207-236
and 532-569.

GHULAM HUSAYN KHAN TABATABA'I 517
(i) Siyar al-muta? akhkhirin : The well-known history of the Indian Empire
covering the period from 1118/1707, the year of Aurangzeb's death, to 1195/
1781. The work is one of the chief authorities for this period of the Mughal
Empire. The autor acted " for some time as Mir Munshi in the service of
Shah 'Alam, and as representative of the Nawab Kasim 'AH Khan in Calcutta,
was engaged in various services under the English Government." (Rieu
p. 280). The work is divided into two volumes. To the first volume, the
Muqaddimah was added by the author after the completion of the work
proper and it was dedicated to the Governor- General, Warren Hastings.
It was borrowed, as stated in the preface, from an earlier work. It gives
" a general description of Hindustan, of its provinces, cities, and products,
and people, a summary of the ancient history, and a succinct history
of the reigns of the various sovereigns down to the death of Aurangeb. Its
contents are generally identical with those of the Khuldsat- dl-tawdrlkh.
It is the second volume of the work that has become famous and to which the
title Siyar al-muta' akhkhirin is particularly applicable. This consists of a
general history of India from 1700 to 1786 A.D. It contains the reigns of the
last seven Emperors of Hindustan, an account of the progress of the English
158 [No. 517
in Bengal upto 1781 A.D. and a critical examination of their government and
policy in Bengal. The author treats these in clearness and simplicity of style
very unusual in an Asiatic writer, and which justly entitles him to pre-eminence
among Muhammadan historians." (Elliot viii 194-98).

The Muqaddimah (-e-Siyar al-Muta'akhkhirin) was published at Calcutta, 1836,
vol. i, 4to pp. 534. The Persian text of the work including the Muqaddimah
was published at Calcutta, 1833, and litho, at Lucknow in 3 vols, 1283/1866,
and also in 1314/1897.
An abridgement of the Siyar by Farzand 'All of Mongir, see p. 141 no. 460,
supra, was printed, under the title of Mula khkh has-al-tawdrikh, in a volume
containing 511 pages, Calcutta, 1827. Another abridgement by M. 'Abdal-
Karim, Headmaster of the Persian Office of the East India Co., was printed in
Calcutta in one volume quarto in 1827 under the name of Zubdat-al-tawdrikh or
Moolukhkhus-ool-Tawarikh. See Elliot viii 199, and Storey, footnote, to
p. 639.

A French gentleman who had embraced Islam, (Raymond or Haji Mustafa) and
was in English employ, and a French, Italian, Turkish and apparently a
classical scholar, also a perfect master of Persian and Hindustani, had trans-
lated the work into English, a language of which he was not a master It was
printed in 3 vols., 4 to, Calcutta, 1789. But the edition consigned to England
was lost at sea, and so only a few copies circulated in Calcutta survived.
Reprints of recent dates, 1902-03 and 1926, described below, are, however
available. General Briggs undertook about one-fifth of the whole work.
This was more an amended version of Haji Mustafa's English than a translation.
Briggs' transl. ends with the defeat of Sarfaraz Khan by Mahabat Jang,
commonly known as 'All Verdi Khan, in 1153/1740. This was printed for the
Oriental Transl. Fund, 8vo, vol. i, 465, Lond. 1832. It was republished in
India, pp. ix, 310, Allahabad, 1924. A cheap and popular reprint of Haji
Mustafa's translation (first published in 1789), with changes in spelling and
obsolete forms to suit modern requirements, was published at Calcutta, 4
vols., 1902. A second edition, with an introduction, was published in 1926.
The work is also said to have been translated by Dr. F. C. Balfour, but nothing is
known about it. In the second volume of Scott's History of the Deccan, a
portion of the Siyar relating to the transactions in Bengal has been translated.
An Urdu translation by Bakhshish 'All, entitled Iqbdl namah, is mentioned by
G. de Tassy : Litter. Hind., vol. i, (1839) p. 11, and another has been published
in India under the title of Mir' at al-saldtin, Lucknow, 1874. See Rieui 281a.

According to Mr. Seddon, the author appears to have been a conscientious
inquirer and the later history is based on his own observations. However,
as a historian he considers Hasan to be unsatisfactory and states that no serious
consideration be given to the scraps of Indian history occurring in the work
(e.g. pp. 387 ff, 393 ff). However, in Tdrikh-e-'dlam-drdy-e-'Abbdsi, it is men-
tioned as the best authority for the reign of Tahmasp (see Rieu, supp. p. 37),
at whose court Humayun found refuge after his wanderings. Printed ex-

Mss in Teheran. Cf. Storey p. 307.

The author of Takmilah in some cases is named as Muhammad Saleh. Bever-
idge in his Akbar-ndmah trans, iii, p 1204, in giving information about the
continuation states " there are more than one continuation." Rieu in 929
states that the Takmilah described therein " is quite distinct from the Tak-
milah. . .described in Elliot. . .and appears. . .to be much fuller." Evidently, the
continuations are more or less reproductions of the Iqbdl-ndmah, according to
Beveridge. The printed text is available in Akbar-ndmah (Bib. Indica) iii,
pp. 802-43, Calcutta, 1873-87. English trans, by Beveridge is in the transla-
tion volume, vol. iii. pp. 1206-62 of the Bib. Indica edition, Calcutta, 1897-
1921. An abridged Eng. trans, by Lieut. Chalmers in MS. is in the Royal

is a collection of anecdotes incorporating the orders issued by Aurangzeb,
while the other is a collection of letters from Aurangzeb to his sons and
various officials. The MS. of the second is in Bk S ii 2017. See also Proc.

the first, while 'Inayat himself claims to have collected such orders and given
them the title Ahkdm-i-' Alamgiri, MSS. in the India Office are not helpful.
But Sir Jadunath Sarkar has in his collection a transcript of a MS. and the
annotation states " complete ; copied from Rampur MS." See, in this connec-
tion, Storey, pp. 596-598 and 1318, where references are found to another work
bearing the same title attributed to the pen of Hamid al-din Khan. In Sarkar's
collection there is a transcript of the work of Hamid al-din Khan, made from the
I.O.L. MS. 3388. Sir Jadunath Sarkar has published a translation into Eng-
lish with the Persian text rearranged, Calcutta 1912, and without the Persian
text, also, Calcutta 1912 and 1925. Sharma in his Bibl. (p. 98) notices a

two titles. The first styled Kalimdt-e- Aurangzeb contains notes of the Emperor
mostly about public affairs. He terms this letter-book to be a mine of histori-

Jahdngiri, Baydz-e-Jahdngiri, Wdqi'dt-e- Jahangir I) : Autobiographical memoirs
of the Emperor from his birth to the beginning of the nineteenth year of his
reign. Prof. Beni Prasad, who wrote the monograph entitled Histo?~y of
Jahangir and who gives towards the end of his book, in Appendix C, an excel-
lent and exhaustive bibliography, says (p. 454) : " Jahangir' s diary forms the
prime authority for the study of his reign and personality. Full accounts of the
riots and rebellions, wars and conquests are given. The Imperial regulations
are reproduced in full. All the important appointments, promotions and
dismissals are mentioned. Sketches of the principal nobles and officers are
drawn in a lifelike maner...The Emperor's own daily life is revealed with can-
dour and frankness, only a few incidents, such as his revolt against his father
and the circumstances of Prince Khusrau's death, being glossed over." In
the seventeenth year of his reign, the Emperor fell ill and asked Mu'tamad
Khan to continue the memoirs. He brought them down to the beginning
of the nineteenth year. Storey (i pp. 556-559) has divided the available
versions in three classes, the first two of which he considers authentic, while
the third, according to him, consists of confused and garbled type.

These memoirs were first published by Sayyid Ahmad Khan at Ghazipur and

Aligarh in 1864. There is a later edition 1914, published at Lucknow. Trans-
lated into English by Rogers, the rendering being revised, edited, and annotat-
ed by Beveridge. The translation of the first twelve years' account was pub-
lished by Royal Asiatic Society, London, in 1909, and the remainder in 1914.
Portions are translated in Elliot vi 256-399. A small part was translated by
Anderson in the Asiatic Miscellany, in 1786, ii, pp. 70-85 and 172. A Marathi
version was published in 1913 in Bhdrat Gaurav Granthamdld. Published in
London and reprinted in Calcutta, there is another version (Tdrihh-e-Salim
Shdhi) which was translated by Major David Price in 1829. On the authenti-
city of either version there raged a long controversy in which Sir H. Elliot,
Prof. Dowson, De Sacy, Dr. Rieu, Morley, and others took part. It is now
settled, beyond all possibility of doubt that Major Price's manuscript represents
a forgery and that the Tuzuk-i-Jahdngiri, as published by Sayyid Ahmed
Khan form the real memoirs."
" In the first half of the eighteenth century, Muhammad Hadi, after transcribing
Jahanglr's memoirs of eighteen years, composed a continuation bringing down
the narrative to the emperor's death." Hadl's work has been lithographed
at the Naval Kishore Press, Lucknow, (n.d.) under the title Tuzuk-e-Jahdn-
giri. An Urdu translation of the Tuzuk-e-Jahdngiri, made from Muhammad
Hadl's edition by Munshi Ahmad 'All Shauq of Rampur, was published at
Lucknow, 1874. See also B. M. Ms. Add 26, 611 and Gladwin : Hist. ofHindo-

deeds or in ceremonies for the expiation of sins committed during the year.
Many of them have historical value and they are to be found in Jain Bhanddrs
or with some of the dchdryas. See Ancient Vijnaptipatras by Dr. H. Sastri,
Baroda 1942, wherein some of these have been reproduced with an introduc-
tion and a commentary. Many of these are of Mughal interest. There is a
farmdn of Jahangir prohibiting slaughter of animals during the sacred days
of the Jains, known as Paryushand period. It is now with Muni Punyavljaya
at Patan. There are faithful portraits of Jahangir and Prince Khurram (the
future Shah Jahan). There are other portraits of the dignitaries of the time.

(937-963/1530-1556), written by Jauhar who was his ewerbearer (dftdbchi)
and in constant attendance upon his master, during the most eventful period
of his life. He was appointed by Humayun, collector of Haibatpur and later on
treasurer (Khizdnchi) of the Government of the Punjab and Multan. He says
" I commenced this work, in the year 995/1586-1587, and have named it the
Tazkirat-al-wdqi'dt, (Relation of Occurrences). It is not my intention to
narrate all the occurrences which have taken place during the late reign, but I
shall confine myself to those operations in which His Majesty was personality
concerned. I shall therefore commence this work with Humayun' s ascending
throne, and shall conclude with his return from Persia and his regaining the
sovereignty " (Elliot v 137). Prof. Dowson remarks : u They are not
contemporary records of the events as they occurred, but reminiscences of
more than thirty years' standing, so that, whatever the sincerity and candour
of the writer, time must have toned down his impressions, and memory had
doubtless given a favourable colour to the recollections he retained of a well-
beloved master." For an account of the author and extracts from the work,
see Elliot v 136-149.

accession and history of his reign to the year of Akbar's birth, (2) Humayun's

There are some other works (see Dixit: ibid, p. 90) attributed to this famous poet,
but it is doubtful and not beyond dispute. This poet, attached to the Orchha
Darbar, was in one case instrumental for a successful intercession in a dispute
with Emperor Akbar. It appears (vide Sivasinhsaroj, App. p. 10) Emperor
Akbar had invited one Pravin Rai Paturi, a famous courtesan and poetess of
Orchha in the time of Raja Indrajit Singh. Indrajit Singh, however, refused
: ^o send her and Akbar imposed a fine for this discourtesy. But the poet,
through the good offices of Akbar's favourite companion, Birbal, got the fine
remitted. Kavipriyd seems to have been written for the benefit of this Pravin.
Works of this author throw a good deal of light on contemporary life and events
(See Dixit : Acharya Keshvdds, pp. 397-423). Cf. HHPSV i p. 29&. Hindus-
tani Academy, Allahabad, is bringing out in three volumes, the printed texts
of his works. Vol. I contains Rasikpriyd and Kavipriyd. Vol. II contains
Ramachandrachandrikd, Chh andamdla and NakhashiJch. Vol. Ill is in press.

compiled in 1194/1780. The work is divided into two babs, the first containing
the Muhtammadan, the second, the Hindu Amirs, both in alphabetical order.
Compared with the Madthir al-umard\ this tazkirah is a meagre compilation
giving an account of all dignitaries above the mansib of two hundred and
containing very little more than patents of nobility, privileges and insignia
bestowed upon each person and the occasion of promotion. The latter part
of the manuscript in the British Museum contains some detached historical
notices on edicts of Jahangir, the mausoleum of Mumtaz Mahal, a list of
Governors of various provinces from Akbar's time to the time of the writing
of the work, and the system of assessment introduced by Todarmal.

KHAFi (or KHWAFl) KHAN 883
Muntafchab-al-lubdb or Tdrikh-e-Khdfi Khan : It is a voluminous history from
the Muhammadan conquest of India to the fourteenth year of the reign of
Muhammad Shah. The first vol., from the Muhammadan conquest to the
end of the Lodi dynasty, was perhaps never completed except in the rough
and is very scarce. The third volume deals with local dynasties and is also
scarce. The second volume, comprising a full account of the Mughals in
India from the conquest of Babur (A.H. 932) to the reign of Muhammad
Shah, is the best known part of the work and is chiefly valuable for containing
an entire account of the reign of Aurangzeb. The author, Muhammad Hashim,
also called Hashim 'All Khan, is better known by the designation Khafi
Khan He was brought up in Aurangzeb's service, and was employed by
him in political and military situations (Elliot vii 207). For a long time,
Morley, Elphinstone and others, misunderstood the meaning of the historian's
designation, Khafi. They took it to mean "connected." The correct
signification is given by Elliot, Col. Lees and others, viz. that it is " a gentili-
cious name denoting the country whence his family spring. Khaf , or more
correctly Khwaf, is a district of Khurasan near Naishapur." (Elliot vii
211-533). Prof. Sharma, in his Bibliography of Mughal India, p. 47, says :
" Sadiq Khan's account of Shah Jahan's reign was purloined verbatim
by that prince of plagiarists, Khafi Khan, and passed off as his own without
the least acknowledgement to his source. This naturally makes what we
have known as Khafi Khan's history more valuable for the reign of Shah
Jahan as it becomes the work of a contemporary who was WaqdH^nawls at
Agra and himself took part in the battle of Samugarh." Similarly, Khafi
Khan has purloined the history of Aurangzeb, almost verbatim, says Sharma,
from the work of Abu'al-Fazl Ma'murl (p. 53) : " The fact that what we have
long known as Khafi Khan's account of Aurangzeb's reign turns out to be
written by an important public servant of Aurangzeb increases its value "
(p. 57). See also, JRAS, 1936, pp. 279-83 and pp. 594-5.

Kotah Daftar : A valuable collection of old historical papers, majority in Marathi

Gulgule, settled in Kotah and rose to be a grandee of that Rajput kingdom.
Certain members of the family held important state posts and some acted as
agents for Maratha chiefs of the time. The records collected as the result of
these were first noticed by Parasnis of Satara in his Itihasa sangraha (c. 1915).
Dr. G. S. Sardesai published a note on these papers in 1927. Then Sardar
Anandrao Phalke of Gwalior published three volumes : vol. 1-296 letters, 1929 ;
vol. 11-198 letters, 1930; vol. III-466 letters, 1946. He covered only one-
sixth of the total collection, relating to the early period. Dr. Raghuvira
Sinh has a typescript of Modi records while Dr. Sardesai has a complete press

al-Safawi, commonly called Shah Mirza with the honorary epithet, Mirza
Mahdl Khan Safawi. The main portion, according to Dr. Ethe (EIO no, 412)
was completed in 1142/1729-1730, and the more recent dates (found in several
MSS) were added later on. Dr. Ethe says that this Mahdl Khan is the sam^
per .on-the author of the famous history of Nadir Shah entitled Jahdn-gusfid-e'
Nddin, but Dr. Lockhart (vide his Nadir Shah, p. 294) says that the two
persons were quite different from each other, that the Jadwal was composed
at Haidarabad in 1142/1729-1730, and that the author of it was " evidently a
considerably older man." In fact, he shows that there were three Mahdi-
Khans : one, the author of the Majmu'ah or Jadwal, another, the author of
Ziya* aWuyun, and the third that of the Tdril&-e-Jahdn-gusha-e-Nddiri.

MlRZA HAIDAR DUGHLAT 1066
TdrlMb-e-Rashldl : A history of the Khans of Mughulistan and of the Amirs of
Kashghar, from the time of Tu gh luq Tlmur Khan to A.H. 952 with the author's
memoirs. Mirza Haidar (b. A.H. 905/1499-1500 d. 958/1551) was first cousin
of the emperor Babur, who patronized him with generous affection after the
death of his father. u He was as bold and adventurous as Babar himself
and played a notable part in widely distant places nor was he at all deficient
in that literary ability which distinguished his cousin " (Elliot v 127). 'In
A.H. 946 he joined Humayun at Agra, fought with him the battle of Kanauj
against Shershah, and accompanied him in his retreat to Lahore. From thence
, he set out for Kashmir A.H. 947....... and soon made himself master of
the country. He ruled it for some years in his own name, afterwards in that
of Humayun, added Tibet to his dominions, and gave by his firm and wise
sway a short period of peace and prosperity to his subjects. He was slain in a
night attack by some rebel chiefs in A.H. 958/1551." (R.p. 165). The Tdrikh-
e~Rashidi is divided into two parts, the first of which deals with the history of
Nos. 1067-1068] 295
the Khans of the Mughals from Tughluq Tlmur to 'Abd al-Rashid Khan (for
whom the work was written), and the second contains memoirs of the author's
life, and of the Uzbak, Chaghatai and other princes, with whom he was
acquainted. (R p. 167). The contents of the first part have been admirably
summarized by Wm. Erskine in his Hist, of Ind. under Babur and Humayun.
vol. i, pp. 38-19 and Appendix B, pp. 537-539., (R p. 167). ' Haidar
Mirza's notices of India are fragmentary, and are confined to what passed
under his own observation ; but they give a vivid picture of the disorder
and incapacity which marked the early reign of Humayun, and were the
causes of his downfall. (Elliot v 128).

graphies of learned men ; in Book XV, of Sufis ; in XVI, of celebrated poets.

tion containing a sketch of the Timuride Emperors from their origin to the
downfall of the Sayyids " (R p. 309). Dr. Willliam Hoey, M.A., D.Litt., trans-
lated this work under the title of Memoirs of Delhi and Faizabad. . . The trans-
lation was printed at the Government Press* Allahabad, in 2 vols, in 1888-89.
Referring to the title of the work, which according to him is " Tarikh-e-Farah-
Bakhsh," he says " I note this, because that usually most accurate historical
bibliographer, Elliot, has made a mistake. In Elliot, vol. VIII (edn. 1877),
the item CVI is the Tarikh-i-Faizbakhsh of Sheo Parshad, and on page 176
it is said : The history by Faizbakhsh of Faizabad, is also known by the
name of Tarikh-i-Faizbakhsh. This is an error." The author a native of

Kakori, in Oudh, was a Tahwllddr of the Treasury in the service of Jawahir
'All Khan, the Ndzir of Faizabad, and after his death in that of his successor,
Darab 'All Khan. One day " the latter regretted that the events which had
followed the death of Shuja' al-daulah had not yet been recorded. Acting
upon his master's hint, the author entered the very next day upon the compila-
tion of the present work, which he completed in the same year, A.H. 1233 "

seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth centuries A.H. (XIII-XVIc A.D.) .."It is
very interesting and valuable because of its exactitude in dates, richness in
details, and its abundant information about a great many persons otherwise
unknown, but especially for its large number of references to the history of
Gujarat and India in general. It sheds much light upon the spiritual life of
Muhammadan India outside the Chishti affiliation on which the Indian hagio-
logists usually concentrate their attention". It is dedicated to Jahangir and
divided into five chamans. In all there are 575 biographical notes, which are
listed in IvASB 259. The work is rare.

upper wall of the external arches of the mosque is in Nur al-lah's excellent
hand. He received the family title of Mi" mar. Lutf al-lah's eldest brother was
'Ata' al-lah Rashdi. He was a distinguished author. For his works see
'Ata al-lah Ra,shdi, above. All the three were the gifted sons of Ahmad Mi'mar,
a renowned architect of the Mughal period who was connected with the
construction of Taj Mahal at Agra and the Red Fort at Delhi. He was also
known as Nadir-al-'Asr Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Ustad Ahmad's brother,
Ustad Hamid, was also a distinguished architect and engineer associated

Akbar, Humayun and Babur. The poet records the despatch of gifts by
Emperor Akbar to Ramchandra, father of Virabhadra, on the birth of the latter,
and it was Ramchandra himself who sent Tansen, the celebrated musician
to the court of Delhi. See Bhdratl Vldya, x (1949), pp. 53-57.

PARAMANANDA, Kavmdra 1446
(i) Paramdnandakdvya : The author was given the title of Kavlndra kavisvara
by Shivaji, and accompanied Shivaji in his journey to Aurangzeb's court at
Agra in 1666. On the escape of Shivaji from Mughal imprisonment, the poet
was arrested in Jaipur territory, but was released later as being innocent of
complicity in Shivaji's flight. It seems the poet was commanded by Shivaji
at his coronation in 1674 to compose an epic on his life. The MS. in the
Baroda Oriental Institute wherein this attempt has been included is published
under the editorship of G. S. Sardesai as vol. cxx. in G.O.S., Baroda, 1952.
The work is not of Paramananda alone but his son Devadatta and his grandson
Govlnda have also contributed. It has historical value. The work mentions
how prince Akbar sought Shambhaji's shelter and how he was followed by
Aurangzeb himself with a large army. Then comes the Emperor's wars
against Bljapur and Golconda and lastly the flight of Prince Akbar to Persia
to seek shelter at the court of Shah Abbas. It also depicts the social life of
Maharashtra at the time. Govinda's part of the work with some additions
have been printed in the ABhORI xviii (1937) pp. 287-295 and ABhORI xix
(1938) pp. 49-60. Prof. D. V. Potdar has identified the poet with a well-
known saint, Paramananda Bava whom Shivaji highly respected and estab-
lished at Poladpur near his capital, Raigad. See BISMQ, xxix, pp. 49-56.
